A radar sensor system having a defined number of HF components, each HF component having at least one antenna for transmitting and/or receiving radar waves and at least one antenna control for operating the at least one antenna, and a synchronization network to which all HF components are functionally connected and via which an HF signal is able to be provided to all HF components. At least two HF components have a respective self-supply device for feeding back a defined share of power of the HF signal able to be fed into the synchronization network. The HF signal for all HF components being able to be generated by a defined HF component at a defined instant, the radar sensor system being able to be functionally subdivided into at least two sub-sensor systems.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The radar sensor system as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one of the following is provided to all of the HF components using the synchronization network: a trigger signal, a clock pulse signal.
3. The radar sensor system as recited in claim 1, wherein the self-supply device is a coupling device.
4. The radar sensor system as recited in claim 1, wherein the self-supply device is a divider device.
5. The radar sensor system as recited in claim 4, wherein the divider device is a hollow conductor network.
6. The radar sensor system as recited in claim 1, wherein the HF components include ports, the ports of the HF components are configurable as either HF transmission ports or HF receiving ports.
